Iowa hair salon blasted on social media for Ivanka visit (video)

While visiting Iowa this week, Ivanka Trump went to a local hair salon to have her hair styled before an event, and followers of the salon erupted in outrage on social media after they found out the salon had provided service to President Trump’s daughter.

Fox News reported: Salon Spa W, in Des Moines’ East Village, posted a picture Monday on its Facebook page of the first daughter, who was in town to tour Waukee school district’s Aspiring Professional Experience program (APEX) with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, the Des Moines Register reported. Reynolds was standing next to Trump in the photograph.

“Our Monday kicked off with styling Ivanka Trump for her visit to Iowa! We [love] supporting women in politics,” the salon wrote in a caption on Facebook, which has since been edited.

Despite the salon’s excitement, hundreds of followers lambasted the business for styling the White House adviser and threatened to never return. Some people said the photo was “f—ing gross” and vowed to unfollow the page.

“I agree with previous posters…this is NOTHING to be proud of,” one women wrote.

Another Facebook user commented, “Will never book an appointment at this salon again. Total bum out. This salon employs hetereo/non-hetero individuals and this just truly sucks. The fact that Salon Spa W was inclusive was always a big A + to me. You put your money where your mouth is as your vote. I loved this salon. I’m so, so disappointed and I can’t imagine how your non-cisgender employees/clients feel. Fail. Won’t ever be back.”

Other customers declared they would never be back to that salon again, and some said the salon “should know better” than to serve Trump.

The salon edited their statement on the post, responding with:
